ReplyDeleteGandhi was from India and is still well known today for his peaceful movements and protests. During his time huge crowds of people would gather to see him. He could hardly work during the day or sleep at night because of his fame. His fame continued to grow even after his death. During his years he was arrested several times and undertook numerous hunger strikes. In the famous Salt March of April-May 1930, thousands of Indians followed Gandhi from Ahmadabad to the Arabian Sea. The march resulted in the arrest of nearly 60,000 people, including Gandhi himself. As part of his nonviolent non-cooperation campaign for home rule, Gandhi stressed the importance of economic independence for India. In 1947 India was finally granted their independence from Britain but were split into two domains. Gandhi opposed this but agreed for hopes of peace. But there were riots after the split into two domains and Gandhi undertook a hunger strike until the riots stopped. On January 30, 1948, 12 days after he ended another fast he was killed by a Hindu man that was upset by Gandhi's efforts to negotiate with Jinnah and other Muslims.

ReplyDeleteGandhi was a social activist and writer who became the leader of the nationalist movement in his country. He was an indian man who fought for Indians and their rights in India, and he was most famous for fighting for what he wanted and doing it in nonviolent ways to help achieve political and social progress. He fought against the British Empire for indian independence. At times the british would put him in prison for what he was doing, so Gandhi would fast to put pressure on the British. They’d eventually end up having to release him because they were scared of what would happen if they let him die, due to the love Indians grew for Gandhi. With everything Gandhi did for his country he was considered the Father of his Country. The indian National Congress declared the independence of India on January 26 1930, but 1947 is when the british granted India its independence. What I learned from Gandhi is that you can fight for what you want but you don’t have to do it in violent ways, as well as never give up because eventually you might get what you want.

ReplyDeleteWhile reading information about Ghandi’s accomplishments to fight equality I realized that he was very peaceful, and determined. In Gandhi's younger years, his father persuaded him to enter in the legal profession. However, things didn't go as planned for Ghandi, withholding him being a lawyer as well. So he insisted a one year contract to perform "legal services" in South Africa. This was Gandhi's calling, while staying in South Africa, Ghandi was exposed to racial discrimination, and being stripped of his religion. Ghandi was tired of being mocked and devoted to fight the “deep disease of color prejudice. Forming the Natal Indian Congress in 1984. Holding protests and made campaigns. Furthermore with making these actions, this led him to a big legacy. Ghandi’s non violence civil obedience even inspired MLK, & Nelson Mandela. In conclusion of reading Ghandi's studies, I think that he was very assertive in his studies, and fought for what he believed in.

ReplyDeleteEQ: Gandhi stood up for Human Rights. What did you learn about what Human Rights Are, How Human Rights can be taken, and how rights can be taken back by studying Gandhi and his story? Gandhi preached the cult of simple life, stressed the superiority of moral over material values. His ideas contributed to shaping his personality, eventually through politics too. He was once imprisoned by government officials, brainwashed about the outside world that destroyed his influence. At the age of 13, this was deeply complicated for him, attitude/sex looked from guilt. Finally, I would say his human rights got deprived from him, but he had disciplined through it all.

DeleteGandhi was an Indian man who battled for his and others' privileges. He resembled MLK and needed to things in a peaceful, manner. He was an Indian attorney, lawmaker, author, and pioneer of the patriot development against the British principle of India. The Gandhi society for human rights was harry wachtel thought. Gandhi thought about law and sorted out blacklists against British foundations in serene types of common noncompliance. Gandhi was slaughtered by an enthusiast in 1948.

DeleteAjanae Crawford Period 1
ReplyDeleteGandhi was recognized as one of the twentieth century's best political leaders. He practiced the principle of Satyagraha resistance to tyranny through a nonviolent civil disobedience. He wanted to ease poverty and expand women's rights with peace and harmony. He was often imprisoned for his actions trying to make positive change sometimes for years but in he accomplished his aim in 1947 when India gained its independence from Britain. He studied religiously and immersed himself in sacred Hindu spiritual texts and adopted a simplicity that was free. Gandhi is now referred to as "Mahatma" that meaning "great soul". He is a great inspiration to others that has struggled to achieve equal rights for their people he gave people hope once they found out what his story was. He was strong on India having equal human rights he wanted his people to be returned to their dignity. He was sadly killed in 1948, but as he lived he made a huge impact as we learn in our history classes. https://www.youthforhumanrights.org/voices-for-human-rights/champions/mahatma-gandhi.html

Gandhi was an important role model remembered by all of us. His cause was to bring peace/freedom. He's did it. -tyriq
DeleteMahatma Gandhi was the MLK Jr. before MLK Jr.; he believed in achieving goals in a peaceful manner. He was one of the best political leaders this world has ever seen. He was an indian lawyer, an anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist, who nonviolently successfully led a campaign for India's independence from the British's domination. Afterwards, sparked freedom and civil rights movements on a global scale. Like MLK Jr, he was arrested almost on consistent basis for doing nothing but trying to do whats right. Gandhi got India from under Great Britain's finger by introducing and enforcing teh concept Satyagraha(holding onto truth). Which was adopted by multiple other countries.The Gandhi Society was founded by Harry Wachtel. Human rights can be taken by an individual(s) tries to enforce brutal tyranny over people. You can get your rights back by taking a stand and fighting for what's yours and whats right but it depends on how you respond and fight back .
ReplyDeleteMoral of the story Mahatma Gandhi has/will forever inspire freedom throughout today's history lessons; And will always positively impact the way we learn about history.

DeleteMahatma Gandhi was an outstanding leader, social activist, politician, and writer who was considered the father of his country. He fought against the British rule. When Gandhi arrived to South Africa, he was exposed to racial discrimination. Due to this altercation, Gandhi decided to fight for the civil rights of Indians. Many people convinced Gandhi to stay in Africa so he can lead and fight against the legislation. He organized many campaigns including "Satyagraha." After years of protesting, the government imprisoned Gandhi along with hundreds of Indians in 1913. In 1930, he came up with another campaign along with The Salt March to protest Britain's Salt Acts. He was dedicated to his people and what his people wanted. He didn't give up on getting what they wanted and eventually in 1947, Britain granted India independence. On January 30, 1948, Gandhi was shot and killed. His legacy continued and inspired future human rights movements by MLK Jr. and Nelson Mandela.

Gandhi who was honored in India as the father of nation, he pioneered and practiced resistance to tyranny through mass nonviolent civil disobedience. Gandhi applied the principles of nonviolent civil disobedience to free India from foreign domination. Gandhi was a source of inspiration in their struggles to achieve equal rights for their people. Gandhi's actions inspired future human rights movements like Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela. From what I read within the biography is all the hard work he had to do to fight off the British and other foreign authorities. To fight for your rights peacefully as well is something accomplish in his life time. Gandhi's rights were denied and yet he still fought for hundreds of Indians and especially for himself. -kimberly pd. 1

ReplyDeleteIndian nationalist leader Gandhi (born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi) was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, Kathiawar, India, which was then part of the British Empire. Gandhi helped India gain its independence with no violence thus doing the Salt March, that entailed a 390-kilometer/240-mile march to the Arabian Sea, where he would collect salt in symbolic defiance of the government monopoly. Before the march, Gandhi stated, “My ambition is no less than to convert the British people through non-violence and thus make them see the wrong they have done to India,” he wrote this to the British viceroy, Lord Irwin. Gandhi was later arrested for breaking the Salts Acts. Even after Gandhi’s assassination, his commitment to nonviolence and his belief in simple living — making his own clothes, eating a vegetarian diet and using fasts for self-purification as well as a means of protest — have been a beacon of hope for oppressed and marginalized people throughout the world.

Mahatma Gandhi showed that any attempt to violate human rights must be stopped, but while also keeping one's own morals and humanity. Gandhi was an Indian lawyer who had to settle for a job in Natal, South Africa. Like most Indian traders in South Africa, he faced a lot of racial discrimination, including being thrown out a railway and getting beaten up by a stagecoach for not giving up his spot to a European. As time went by, Gandhi educated his fellow Indians on the rights they should have and led mass protest against British rule and the unfair treatment of Indians. He became an Indian nationalist with a giant movement that used a new technique of protest which involved civil disobedience without violence. Gandhi's fight for human rights for Indians using this method inspired many others around the world, like Martin Luther King Jr and Nelson Mandela. He's a symbol of hope for those who are oppressed.

Gandhi was from India is still notable today for his quiet movements and protests. During his time gigantic hordes of individuals would accumulate to see him. He could scarcely work during the day or rest around evening time due to his distinction. His acclaim kept on developing significantly after his demise. During his years he was captured a few times and attempted various appetite strikes. In the well known Salt March of April-May 1930, a great many Indians followed Gandhi from Ahmadabad to the Arabian Sea. The walk brought about the capture of almost 60,000 individuals, including Gandhi himself. As a major aspect of his peaceful non-collaboration crusade for home principle, Gandhi focused on the significance of monetary autonomy for India. In 1947 India was at long last allowed their freedom from Britain however was part of two areas. Gandhi restricted this however concurred for any desires for harmony. Yet, there were revolts after the split into two spaces, and Gandhi attempted an appetite strike until the uproars halted. On January 30, 1948, 12 days after he finished another quick, he was killed by a Hindu man that was agitated with Gandhi's endeavors to haggle with Jinnah and different Muslims.

ReplyDeleteMahatma Gandhi is one of the most inspirational figures in the world. He was a leader of independence in the movement against British rule in India. In 1893 Gandhi went to Natal, South Africa to perform legal services. While he was there he was faced with racial discrimination of Indian immigrants. Gandhi drafted petitions to the Natal legislature and the British government for Indians to have the right to vote. This ended up exposing discrimination of Indians to the world. Gandhi ended up organizing his first civil campaign called " Satyagraha ".The campaign was a nonviolent protest against the government's new restrictions on the rights of Indians. Gandhi and his Satyagraha continued to have nonviolent/peaceful protests about Indian's rights. Eventually, in 1945, the British government gave India its independence. Sadly in 1948, Gandhi was assassinated. I learned that Gandhi was a fearless campaigner for the rights and dignity of all people. He used non-violence as the main way to fight for justice. I feel Gandhi's motive was to show people that you can get change without violence or being violent.

Gandhi was a inspirational men that led the fight for India's Independence from British rule by following his path of non violence. Gandhi way of using non violent was helpful because many people could see the idea of not trying to harm any individuals. Gandhi reminds me of Martin Luther King Jr. because they both believed that non violence was the best way to get things across. Gandhi most memorable protest was called the "salt March" due to that march the Indian national congress declared the country independence. I learned that Non violence is the best method to seize a country because many people would see that your trying to receive Independence in peace.

ReplyDeleteI learned that Gandhi had huge support people from his home in India and more. In addition, he was a inspiration towards people who didn't have a voice for independence from the British. Gandhi's way of peace didn't involve violence but a way to get a hold of people by just speaking up. Methods that Gandhi done really touch on others in result that even Martin Luther took the same route he did when he was fighting against racism. I learned that non violence results leads to a big impact on others.https://www.mkgandhi.org/articles/radhakrishnan3.htm

ReplyDeleteI learned Gandhi was an Indian lawyer, politician, social activist and writer who was born on October 2, 1886. He fought for Indians rights in India. He fought against the British Empire for indian independence. The indian National Congress declared the independence of India on January 26 1930, but 1947 is when the british granted India its independence. Learning about Gandhi can teach us about different activists from history from another country.

Many human rights around the country are being violated because of biased and unfair systems. For example, in the U.S. there is a corrupt judicial system and it strongly effects the lives of minorities almost everyday. I learned that Gandhi used great methods to use against this.

What great methods did he use?
DeleteGandhi was known for being one of the most respected and spiritual political leader in the 1900's. Gandhi is one of the people that helped Indian people become free from the British people. He is also famous for being a person that fought in a non-violence way to express his political ways for example he would have campaigns and meetings. He helped build hospitals and new schools in very poor areas as well as clean the areas. Many believe that without Gandhi fighting for India they would not have their independence now but still other have their opinion and say they didn’t need him because it was always going to happen another way.

Ghandi was known for being very influential during his lifetime, and his actions through peaceful protest showed that. While Ghandi and all of his records throughout his youth showed to be mostly mediocre, the impact that he would leave when he turned into a political and social activist was massive. It kickstarted when Ghandi experienced racial discrimination while in South Africa. In a Durban court, Ghandi was asked to take off his turban, in which he refused and left the courtroom. A few days later, he was thrown out of a railway compartment and left to endure the cold in Pietermaritzburg. On the course of that journey, a stagecoach driver beat up Ghandi because he would not travel on the footboard to make room for a European driver, similar to Rosa Park's encounter on the bus. All of these events would take place to drive Ghandi to fight for self-independence in South Africa

He introduced many ways and concepts of civil non-violence and civil peaceful disopedience by doing this he promoted different tactics for them to work and to show the world how to peaceful act toward the government in concerns of civil disagreement.
